M decided to stop in since we had time to kill before the train ride. My husband and I split a flight. The jars were super cute. I loved how the tray had numbers so you would know which one you were tasting. The set up was nice too. We picked a table and grabbed some games. I saw there was a cider slushie machine and asked if it was working. The server said it was, turned it on and told me to check back in about few. It was starting to fill up with guest. After playing scrabble for a bit, I went back over and asked for a glass of the slushie. I'm so glad I did!! I enjoyed the cider slushie better than the flight lol. Definitely a nice chill spot. read more

We were in town and decided to stop in on a Saturday evening. The place is fairly spacious and we were greeted upon entering. The bartender confirmed it was dog friendly and even gave us a water bowl for the doggos. There were 8 or so ciders on tap. I was between the Maven and Bloom and asked for thoughts. They are different so it's worth trying a taste suggested the bartender. Very kind of her! I opted for the Maven for a dryer finish. The ABV for the ciders are a bit higher, 6% or higher. The smaller pours are much appreciated for that. Give it a try while in Staunton! read more

Wow, this place really was out of this world ;-) We simply could not believe what a chill atmosphere we entered (true of most of downtown Staunton, honestly, if you're from the hustlin bustlin land 2.5 hrs north.) Along a little stretch that I believe is called the Wharf, this seemed like a perfect next stop after Byers Street Bistro. We had our dog with us, and we thought their patio looked perfect. But when my husband went into order, we were pleasantly surprised to hear dogs were allowed inside, too. Great! We got a flight to try many different options ranging from dry to sweet. We liked them all, but our favs were Hues, Bud Honey, and Pink Ocean. The staff was super friendly and kind to our pooch, even bringing her water. My kids (5 and 2) had a great time, too! They have toys and games, and couches and thoughtful design elements make this a comfy, calming spot. The last detail is small, but to me, it's huge. We took a couple Live Photos while we were there. I didn't notice at the time, but perhaps my mood was subconsciously enhanced by this fact: in the background of the Live Photos, I could clearly make out "Aphasia" by Pinegrove playing. That's one of my favorite songs of all time, and I've never heard it played anywhere out and about, save for at a Pinegrove show. Props to whomever was working the aux cord that day ;-) read more

I love this place! Don't think; just stop in and enjoy some ciders or cocktails made with their ciders. We stopped here because it was recommended by the Redbeard Brewery across the street, where we had the beer that was a collaboration between the two. We were just passing through the town as it began raining really hard. The friendly server greeted us as we walked in the back door. We asked if we could bring in our furbaby, and they said yes! The decor is charming, minimalist, and bright. There are many different seating areas for you to sit in after you order at the bar. We picked the sofas near the front window. They had art on the wall that you could purchase if you inquired with the artist. We appreciate that they have six ciders, and you can do a flight of four or six. We picked six since we were sharing and like cider. I'm a science teacher, so I enjoyed that the tasting glasses were little beakers. We enjoyed all of the ciders. My hubby's fav was the pink oceans that taste like strawberries. My favorites were the two off-drys Mellow gold and Budhoney. My hubby agreed that he now will remember the off-dry description of ciders as we really liked them. It was fun to learn some cider lingo as we tasted all of their options. Then the brut, Hellas dry was my third favorite. Next were the pathfinder and pink oceans, which are semi-sweet. The last place was the liquid gang, which is tart and tannic. The bartender checked on us multiple times and ensured we didn't have questions or needed anything else even though we were not at the bar. read more

Ciders From Mars - We picked all six ciders for our tasting - Cideries Near Me - Staunton, Virginia

I'm not a big cider fan, honestly couldn't tell you if I'd ever even had it before tonight, but since we're here in Staunton for the weekend celebrating our anniversary, we figured why not? We were planning to do a late dinner nearby, and love trying out new places. So we stopped in for a bit and checked the place out. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and offered some tasters. Immediately decided on a flight of four and went to sear ourselves at a table. We tried the Hellas Dry (my fave), Pathfinder, Budhoney, and De Stijl. They all had very distinct flavors, but I did enjoy the Hellas Dry and Pathfinder more than the other two. We enjoyed our time there, just hanging out, and would definitely go back and hang out to kill time again. read more

We went to see our favorite band. We went early and got great seating. Our server was attentive and helpful. Got a flight of 6 ciders, but only liked 2 of them. Can't remember the names but they were the 2 driest ones. I'm not a fan of ciders in general, but if I go again will just order the driest one. Did not get food as we had already eaten. Very limited offerings, but they said we could get food delivered there. Cool place. We had a great time dancing and seeing old and making new friends read more

I loved visiting this place- it was a whole vibe in and of itself! I was here for a bachelorette weekend, and this was one of the stops. The ciders were not very sweet (which I didn't love), but their mixed drinks were so good!! That's what I ended up getting after I realized how good those were! Definitely a worthy & cool spot to check out! read more

Ciders From Mars - Meridian Bae Breeze $8 cocktail- so yummy if you like grapefruit! - Cideries Near Me - Staunton, Virginia

First time visiting Staunton downtown and stumbled upon this cidery! I got a flight of 4 to try out some of their flavors. Everyone will have different preferences and favorites but overall I enjoyed their service and the aesthetics! I liked how their ciders were placed in little lab beakers and had corresponding dots to remind me of the name. My top 2 were Districts and Pathfinder. The place was spacious with lots of seating and light - making it a great place to get together with others. The use of a dark teal color with some green plants all around made it a nice place to enjoy my cider! The servers were also really nice! read more

Brand new ciderie in Staunton with a cool science theme. Love the beaker flight glasses - 4 samples for $10. The De Stijl was our favorite, bourbon aged Caramel toned goodness. Shady Lady and Marigold Gold were also good, a little on the dry side. Pathfinder is a little sweeter and our second favorite. read more

Cute cider place that's in downtown Staunton. The location is great cause it's nearby other restaurants, breweries and wineries. Inside is really cute, the couches are comfy to sit at and then they have an outdoor area in the back. There was a food truck there that was delicious. We got the cider flight, I liked almost all of them but the last one. Staff were really friendly. Fun place to take the family or friends, dog friendly too. read more

Was at the gay pride event on Sunday, the emcee of the event was at your booth, just talking to the people working at your booth He was there to get glass of cider, and your people charged for the drink. Come on guys , this young man worked his ass off for this event and your people couldn't give him a complimentary glass of cider, totally uncalled for. Very disappointed in your booth read more

If you are looking to try delicious ciders at a relaxed and friendly atmosphere in central Virginia, then look no further than Ciders from Mars! My personal favorites was the driest cider and the unique-tasting cider with strawberries infused into it. The second cider tastes just like strawberry champagne and is the perfect addition to any girls night. I hope to visit this cidery again soon during my next visit to the cute town of Staunton. read more
